Sweet Spot Progression

One complaint I have with the standard SSB HV plans is that some of the sessions have very long recovery intervals. There are variations of Hunter that have rest intervals over 10 minutes. I like a little rest as much as the next guy, but if I’m not ready for the next SS interval after a 5 minute rest, I’m not going to be ready after 10 minutes. I really question whether anything longer then ~3 minutes is helpful. I always struggle getting the engine going again after a 5+ minute break.

This is important. The recovery length can impact the effectiveness of the prior and subsequent work. FastLabs had a recent podcast episode with Sebastian Weber. It’s worth a listen because it hits on this very observation.
